Thank you Net Galley and One More Chapter for this ARC. Publication date: 1/31/23. I highly recommend this book and checking out the rest of this series.

I truly had fun reading this book! I don’t feel like I am missing much by not having read the other books in the series; perhaps some setting development, but that is it. I enjoy the characters, their distinct personalities, and their development. I would say there are 4-5 plot lines but they weave together nicely. I think the story would be a little better and have opportunity for more emotional moments if one of the plot lines was dropped. The transitions have been choppy 2-3 times and Ive noticed 1 or 2 typos but thats it. Regardless, I loved this book and definitely want to read the rest of the series!
